- alex_young 1y agoPresumably this little girl’s parents were arrested. What’s next for her? Hope she’s somewhere safe.
- pfannkuchen 1y agoAren’t they just all being sent back to where they came from?
- Eddy_Viscosity2 1y agoNot necessarily. Some are being sent to countries they never been to. Sometimes to prison, even though they haven't been convicted of a crime.
- pfannkuchen 1y agoSome non-convicts who aren’t criminally wanted in the destination country are being sent to prisons in a country they aren’t from? Source on that specifically? You’ll have to forgive me, for me the media has cried wolf for so long I don’t take it seriously anymore.

Pretty much nothing surprised me about US news till the last Trump administration, even then, I chalked it up with “oh guess they have an actual dictator with unlimited power now”. Last week I looked up the ICE and it shocked me. How can people let citizens and neighbors literally get kidnapped out of the street and then held in prisons indefinitely, with intentional zero traceability. You can get lost in the system and be held forever as a prisoner in inhumane conditions, without even being told on which continent you are on. All because you made comments on social media criticizing the current administration. Or because of your skin color or country of origin. That’s beyond 1984, beyond dystopia.
- bestouff 1y agoThere's an "in Soviet Russia" joke to be made here, but I don't think the situation is that funny.
- flowerthoughts 1y ago> How can people let citizens and neighbors literally get kidnapped out of the street and then held in prisons indefinitely, with intentional zero traceability. I recently watched a Youtube video saying this is actually pretty normal in North Korea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gm7kSUkBAk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gm7kSUkBAk
- jaybrendansmith 1y agoNobody who is an American should be ok with this, regardless of your politics. We need to stand up together and clearly indicate this is not what anybody voted for. Forget the Constitution, these people are breaking the Magna Carta. We cannot tolerate Federal actors that exist outside the legal system. We tolerated the FBI only because it was necessary, and we were careful. But local police departments should be standing up to ICE, and judges should be ordering their arrest for this behavior. It is unacceptable in a Democracy. I would encourage local politicians to discuss this with their local police departments and state police. I've worked with State Police before, I know exactly what they would say, at least most of them. They would say this extra-legal shit does not belong in this country, that it is unacceptable. If there would be a civil war happening, it will be between local and state police and ICE. Our friends and neighbors in the police departments should not be ok with this.
